Default How many miles to a tank of gas?
Brought my 4GS all the way to the "0" range and the fuel needle also hit the empty mark.

The low fuel light came on with 20 miles left in the range.

Filled up until the pump clicked and managed to fill 15.132 out of 17.4 gallons; thus 2.268 gallons left.

I managed to get 344.8 miles to the tank...how about you?

you should have seen it a month or two ago! $4.33 for 91 is pretty much the lowest around the Bay Area right now. Most Chevron's still go to $4.39 or more.

Yes! $4.33 is considered "very cheap" for Northern California!

It's not much cheaper in Dallas. I paid $4.10/gallon today to fill my tank! Getting ridiculous. I feel like a grandpa when I say I can remember paying less than $1 per gallon and filling my tank for <$20 back when I was 1st driving. "Those were the good old days...and we liked it that way."

I filled my tank yesterday (Lewisville TX) at $3.86 / gallon (93 Octane). It is surprising how much it varies from city to city! But yes, still significantly higher than just last year... (but I'm super glad that it isn't as high as CA)

I'm not thrilled with the small fuel tank / short range of the car. I like to be able to get 400 miles (4 days of commuting) per tank with plenty of reserve.

As there was 2+ gallons left at 22+ mpg in my tank at 0 range, getting 400 miles to a tank is possible!

I get about 270 miles before I have to fill mine up. I drive in S or S+ 90% of the time.

Not to stray too far off topic, but I love your signature pic. Aren't you the guy that bought two Starfire Pearl GS350 F Sports?... one with Black and one with Cabernet interior? I love that! Your Lexus dealer should be coming to your house to prepare dinner each night.
